Supreme Court: The Most Conservative Part of Government Receives the Highest Public Approval
It’s easy to attribute Obama’s poor approval ratings to generic anti-government sentiment and/or ongoing economic difficulty, citing Congress’s low approval as supporting evidence. But a recent Rasmussen poll shows something interesting. Namely, that the most conservative portion of our federal government receives the highest approval ratings from the public. In fact, the number of respondents stating that the Supreme Court is doing a “good” or “excellent” job (35%) is approximately double the number who rate its performance as poor (18%).
Indeed, by a 31% to 26% margin, respondents believe the Supreme Court is too liberal, not too conservative. Interesting insight for elected officials, and especially candidates, to ponder.
